Photographs made by S. H. Parsons in St. Johns, Newfoundland, which were possibly exhibited at the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition in New Orleans, 1884-1885. They include views of boats passing through the Narrows (the entrance to St. Johns's harbor), Carbonear Island, Water Street after its first snow, the "Sisters" natural rock formation, and St. Brides College for Young Ladies (also known as Littledale).
Biographical/Historical note:
Simeon Henry Parsons (1844-1908) was originally a cabinetmaker in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. He taught himself photography and converted the top floor of his business into a studio in 1871. He moved to St. Johns in 1875, establishing his Photographic Studio and Fine Art Emporium there. Parsons traveled extensively throughout Newfoundland and published his photographs as illustrations in books, postcards, and stamps.
